Charles Terrace, 2 to 8 Premises cleansed and repaired

rain-water pipes and gutters, yard
paving and water fittings overhauled
and repaired.
The supervision of the above sanitary improvements, including the
testing of new drains and fittings, etc., examining damp-proof coursing,
etc., entailed many visits and occupied much of my time. In one or two
instances on my report of slow progress, you communicated with the
owners, with the result that more men were put on the work. The
work was completed in each case to your satisfaction and permission was
given for re-occupation.
Dangerous Structures.
I reported in five instances dangerous structures to the London
County Council, which were dealt with by the District Surveyor.
